In the last ten years of going to Ipoh for holidays, every time we passed by this traffic light junction in New Town enroute either Lou Wong Taugeh Chicken or Foh San dim sum, my wife would tell me that there was this awesome curry mee shop near there. But she never brought me there to eat 🙁
Last trip back to Ipoh, I had to get my mother-in-law to bring me to the shop. Its actually recently moved from an older shop, now its called Sun Chuen Fong.
The shop is pretty small, but they sell one thing and one thing only – Curry mee.
This is my bowl of delicious red hot curry mee.
If you order the ‘liu’ separately, they will provide extra curry dipping sauce. Its basically a thicker version.
We ordered prawn, siew yoke, char siew and bean sprout. The siew yoke is moist and soft, super delicious as only Ipoh siew yoke can taste 🙂
If you need to find this shop, its the row of shops facing the police station in New Town, just after the traffic light junction.
There aren’t many Ipoh-style curry mee stalls here in KL, there was a pretty good one in Sunway Damansara, but he’s moved to somewhere else. I’ve still yet to try the one in Old Klang Road, must get the directions from mott again…

I will never hear the end of it now from hubby!
I have known this shop for ages but never tried it for the many years I have heard about it! hahaha…
Sigh…thus the confession of a non currymee lover!

eh..it’s in OUG la…it’s just shop facing the Caltex/Bp station. U know the old yaohan right? Now..it’s called..err..something else la, I forgot already!..From old klang road, u just make a right at the traffic light which is IN front of the old yaohan. Go straight straight until u see a coffee shop (left). There’ll be a traffic light there..turn left, u’ll see a caltex/bp stn on ur right..turn right and u’ll see it (on ur left). One big yellow sign, occupying two shops. Closed on one sunday..not sure which one!
OMG..i just realised..i’m so old. I can’t remember so many things already! U confue? Ah..mebbe Anjali is talking about the same one la…

You gotta be kidding me! I have lived in Ipoh for 20 years and I have never even set foot into this shop! I’m drooling all over now!

Simon/ Mott,
Actually there are 2 in OUG:
(i)The one which Mott refers to is called “Kedai Makanan Ah Loy”. Curry is thick kao-kao and the curry noodle comes in choices of curry chicken or curry bak kut. This one sells fm lunch time till 10pm.
(ii) I prefer the one at the small lane on the opposite kopitiam, as it is less thick. This one only sells in the morning until about 11am.
